Carry ur shading pencils of all the grades u want.U also hv to carry ur protractor and compass in case ur nt habitual to free hand drawing.Carry ur colour pencils fr d imagination drawing.I guess thats all u need to carry!!I gt to know dat many centres dnt allow students to carry scale,Im sorry idk d reason so u carry a brand new pencil so that u can use it like a scale in case of any problem...

All the best!!

try practicing them frm all d qustion papers...d sample papers,mock papers and all d others...it really helps!!

It ws allowed till last year bt I guess that it is ntallowed dis year.And it is better u dnt use it as it might spoil ur sketch if d shading doesnt come out well.It is also difficult fr d invigilator to scan it as when d paper is wet they cannot scan it and even if they scan it and it is spoilt,v cannot blame them.Bt I guess it is ur wish.U can use it if u believe dat ur gud in it.

All d best!!
